Netherlands escience center

We are a centre of research expertise that since 2012 has been uniquely positioned as an independent foundation, financed by NWO – the Dutch Research Council – and SURF, the Dutch organization for IT in education and research. The core activities of the eScience Center are carried out by Research Software Engineers (RSEs). RSEs are high-end, university-level specialists who do two things: they do research using digital technologies and methodologies, and they engineer software.
